Rationale for E-R Model
Trading information is primarily specified using three entities: Account, Stock, and
Transaction. These entities are linked through the relationship HasStock, which relates
stocks with the accounts they are held in, and the relationship Trade, which represents
the actual buying and selling of stocks. Notice that the roles Transaction and Order are
keys of the relationship Trade and that every transaction and order must be involved in
some Trade relationship. Thus, there is a one-to-one correspondence between
Transaction entities and Trade relationships, and Order entities and Trade relationships.

Also notice that an order is placed at a certain date/time and a transaction occurs at
certain, presumably different, date/time. Furthermore, the number of shares traded is
encapsulated in the Order entity. As for the price per share, this information resides in
both the Transaction and Order entities: a hidden-stop order dictates the sale price of a
share of stock; for all other types of orders, the price per share will be determined at
runtime, that is, when the transaction occurs. Finally, hidden- and trailing-stop
conditional orders are, by definition, sell orders, while market and market-on-close
orders may be buy or sell orders.

Please see Figure 4.31 (p. 109) of the course textbook for a similar E-R perspective of a
stock-trading system.
